Rounton Coffee is based in North Yorkshire, roasting from a converted granary building in East Rounton. The early years of the business involved selling at farmers markets and recording roast profiles by hand, which the founders describe as foundational to understanding both coffee and the community they were building for.
Rounton roasts on Loring convection roasters, specifically the S35 Kestrel and S15 Falcon models. Loring machines use a recirculating airflow system that eliminates the need for an afterburner and significantly reduces gas consumption, and the roastery points to cleaner flavour clarity and longer shelf life as the practical results.
The range regularly features less common origins and processing methods, including recent releases of Gesha lots from Peru and Colombia, a Sidra Natural from Ecuador, and a Banka Natural from China's Yunnan province. The roastery describes itself as multi-award-winning, though specific awards are not named in the source material.
